PARACAS, ICA & HUACACHINA TOUR WITH ADVENTURE ITINERARY - 1 DAY
Our Paracas, Ica, and Huacachina adventure experience in one day begins very early with pickup from designated points in Lima, then continues south, accompanied by our guide, who will introduce themselves and provide instructions for the tour. During the trip, we’ll make a brief stop for breakfast (not included) to recharge our energy for the day ahead.
Upon arriving in Paracas, we’ll head to the pier to board modern speedboats equipped with life jackets, then head to the Ballestas Islands, a natural sanctuary teeming with life. During the navigation, we’ll contemplate the enigmatic Paracas Candelabra, a gigantic geoglyph traced in the sand whose origin remains a mystery. We’ll continue out to sea to admire the fascinating marine biodiversity: sea lions resting on the rocks, Humboldt penguins moving through the waves, and a wide variety of birds inhabiting these islands. At the end of this magical voyage, we’ll return to Paracas Bay with hearts full of wonder.
Afterward, we’ll have free time for lunch (not included) at seaside restaurants, where fresh and authentic flavors of local seafood cuisine await you. Then, we’ll continue to Ica, where we’ll visit a traditional local vineyard to discover the secrets of creating Peruvian wines and piscos with a generational tradition. We’ll tour the facilities and participate in an entertaining tasting of wines, piscos, and macerados, accompanied by typical phrases and the warmth that make this region unique.
The adventure continues at the Huacachina Oasis, a magical place surrounded by giant dunes and vegetation in the middle of the desert. Here we’ll experience a unique, adrenaline-filled experience: we’ll board tubulares (dune buggies) to traverse the dunes at full speed, feeling the excitement of each ascent and descent. Additionally, we’ll practice sandboarding, gliding over the sand, and enjoying a different perspective of the Peruvian desert.
After this unforgettable experience, we’ll begin our return to Lima, but first we’ll make a special stop in Chincha, the birthplace of criolla and Afro-Peruvian music. Here, we’ll enjoy a lively Criolla music show and taste local products, including wines, macerados, and typical sweets that will delight your palate.
We’ll arrive in Lima by evening (time may vary depending on traffic), our souls filled with landscapes, flavors, and emotions, carrying with us memories of a truly complete and memorable tour after experiencing the best of Peru’s southern coast authentically and excitingly.
